Trick Eye Museum Singapore

#trickeye #trickeyemuseum #singapore



Long time no post!

Having been to the one in Seoul, South Korea, it was a nice surprise seeing news about the Singapore version opening on my Facebook feed. Then on opening day, I noticed many bloggers had visited the place and there was a promotion ongoing! 50% off tickets up until 22 June 2014 (sorry it's over this post is late cos I couldn't finish it before going off to training camp haha)

U.P. $25 so this was really quite a steal. In my opinion, after going through it - it was worth it especially since it was on discount. Hahaha. Some of the famous Trick Eye art/installations were there so that was a plus point! We went on Friday evening and when we bought our tickets at about 6plus 7 thereabouts, we were told that it'd be a 30 minutes wait to go in! They tried to control the crowd inside the museum or it'd be too crowded to take photos. But our wait was much shorter thanks to a stroke of good luck! Hahaha there was a friend at the front of the queue who's date had yet to arrive yet so we kinda jumped the queue and went in earlier hehehe



GIANTSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Went diving with the whales! HAHA

Sky diving lolol - sky's the limit sky's the limit~


HAHAHA

Synchronized swimmer \o/


Awww flowers for me?


I thought this was good!! Really looked like you're inside the snow globe haha

I DID A SPLIT (me the most inflexible girl in the world hahah)

But overall, I thought the place was a little too small, and the "Photo Point" places were slightly off!! It'd be hard to capture the installation if one were to stand at the exact position of the photo point sticker. That said, there were some really narrow corridors towards the end (i think it was in the fairytale section) which made for a hard time to take photos. Towards the end we kinda gave up on many installations due to the crowd so we skipped on a lot of photos!

I wouldn't really recommend going since the price is now $25 haha kinda pricey for the experience (which was just okay). But if you still want to go, then I'd recommend waiting till the hype dies down and there are less people in it cos then you'll have a much better photo-taking experience :-)

Chock Full of Beans

Met up with my Jas- friends hahaha they have the same name in speaking but different spelling so I differentiate them (in typing) with their surnames! Lucky to have met and gone on a wonderful trip to Korea with them 3 years back. So great to have gone there with them on my first time to Korea haha.

Jast left for Korea last Monday night so we met up on Sunday for a long-awaited reunion! Hahaha. Haven't met up with them as a group since I got back from Korea oh my. This time she has gone to Korea for 3 months so it was a last minute, good meet up.


We decided to go to a nice cafe so we could sit and chat for a bit after eating! Had to be near Changi Airport cos Jasy was sending her sister off afterwards so we decided on Changi Village! It was pretty crowded though because it was a weekend and during lunch hour. Also, I thought the cafe seating space wasn't very big, there was a limited capacity haha and it was operating almost always on full capacity hahaha


Ordered the famed rosti breakfast thingy but it was smaller than I expected!! I felt quite disappointed at the size because I'm quite a glutton lol but after finishing my food I felt incredibly full.




Chock Full Of Beans is also famous for their latte art, or rather, the 3D latte art!! Comes when you order iced latte, but only limited to two cups! And because we went on a weekend, we couldn't choose the design haha. They also have cute latte art for hot latte drinks!! I wouldn't mind going back down on a weekday to try my luck at getting some Rilakkuma latte art hehehe




On the other hand, I'm not a coffee drinker AT ALL so I felt super sick after finishing my Hazelnut latte! Jast and Jasy felt a little uncomfortable too haha

Check out my 3D bear sinking/drowning into the drink HAHAHAH



We took the bus out of Changi Village to Changi Airport afterwards, and had round 2 at Paris Baguette~ ending of with qt photos of us hahahah /noshamebutsorrynotsorry
